Evening The Odds
Korra was the Avatar, the master of all four elements, and a proud member of the Southern Water Tribe. She had a long and glorious history when it came to water fights, so how was she losing to Asami, of all people?
Oh, wait. That was right. Asami, that cheater, had designed some kind of… of… of water shooting weapon of doom to ensure her victory. Well, that was what Korra got for falling in love with an engineering genius.
"Come on out, Korra," Asami taunted as she ambled down the corridor. "Are you really that afraid to lose?"
"I'm not afraid of anything!" Korra shouted before she gasped and covered her mouth with both hands. Damn it. She'd given her position away. Sure enough, hardly a moment had passed before Asami was right there shooting water at her with that bizarre weapon of hers. "That is so cheating, Asami!" She ducked under a jet of water and jabbed her finger at her girlfriend. "Cheater! Cheater! Cheater!"
"This is not cheating," Asami replied as another spray of water forced Korra to duck for cover. In a majestic display of her speed and agility, the Avatar somehow managed to make it across the room and behind the couch without getting completely drenched. "It's not my fault that you agree not to use your bending for this water fight, Ms Avatar."
"Gee, I wonder why," Korra shot back. "Maybe it's because I was trying to do the right thing since, you know, you're not a waterbender, and using my bending would be cheating. But, hey, what do I know? Apparently, not very much because I definitely wouldn't have agreed to that if I'd known that you had invented some kind of water shooting thingy."
"It's called a water gun, Korra."
"It's called cheating!" Korra stuck her head up and was promptly greeted by a jet of water to the face. "Gah!" She ducked back behind the couch. "I assumed that we would be doing this with teacups or maybe a bucket or something, not with that… that…"
"Water gun, Korra. It's called a water gun."
"Whatever. It's cheating."
"Putting my engineering skills to work is not cheating," Asami retorted. "And I'm actually planning on selling this as a toy. I think kids would have a lot of fun using these on each other, but I wanted to give it a bit of a test run first. Lucky you, Korra."
"Yeah, lucky me." Korra hated to admit it, but Asami was right. Kids would go absolutely nuts over water guns. "But if you were going to test it, couldn't you have given me one?"
"Nope. You might actually have stood a chance that way. You know me, Korra. I play to win." Asami chuckled. "So come out and accept your defeat."
"Never!"
Korra jumped over the couch. If she was going to lose, she might as well go out swinging. As Asami pelted her with water, she tackled the other woman to the floor. There was a brief scuffle before Korra emerged on top of Asami. She smirked and pointed the water gun at Asami.
"Take this!" Korra pulled the trigger, which was something she'd seen Asami do, but no water came out. "Huh?"
"It's out of water." Asami bucked her hips, and she was suddenly the one on top of Korra. Her lips curled, and she pulled another, much smaller, water gun out of her pocket. "But this one isn't."
Korra's eyes widened. "Wait… Asami… gah!"

Author's Notes
As always, I do not own Legend of Korra. I am not making any money off of this either.
Korra made the mistake of assuming that Asami would play fair. She won't make that mistake again!
As always, I appreciate feedback. Reviews and comments are welcome.
